Diamonds Are Forever

Hollywood couples in their own dramatic way Are like characters in a Shakespearean play To be or not to be That was the question you see When they first met on the set of the "Anthony and Cleopatra" movie But it was double double toil and trouble When their romance began to bubble She was a beautiful and glamorous star Admired by fans from near and far But their relationship was like a war Leaving them wounded,with emotional scars He loved his women and his booze Painkillers is what she liked to use They both seemed to have the blues They would have nasty breakups Then he would buy her million dollar diamonds to make up Though his love for her was deep She was not his to keep They got married , then divorced Then they remarried, of course that one ended too, just like the first He played many parts in his career in showbiz But the best part he ever had was being married to Liz ~~ Richard Burton And Elizabeth Taylor

I bet you saw the lifetime movie with Lohan as Liz? I actually liked seeing that movie though the critics hated it. I think that was a very fascinating couple and I enjoy your poem's review of them.
